iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C to Ship Mid-to-Late September, Report Says

A fresh report from TheWall Street Journal claims Apple will ship two iPhone models this Sept. Sources close to the company’s plans say Apple has asked Foxconn, its biggest manufacturing partner, to begin shipping both high-end and low-end models in the next few weeks, suggesting the rumored Sept. 10 announcement date is spot on. This will be the first time Apple has introduced two distinct iPhone models.

We always expected Apple to release its brand new iPhone(s) in September, and it appears that will be the case. WSJ is typically a high-level source with accurate information, so we’re inclined to believe its reports. Of course, we won’t have official confirmation until Apple reveals its plans, possibly in a few weeks, so we’re still treating this as a rumor. We’ll find out soon enough.
